In 2021, 100,000 home fires in China caused more than 500 injuries(受伤) and 900 deaths. You can prevent fire deaths and injuries, and even most home fires by knowing about fire safety.
A fire safety plan tells everyone what to do if your home catches fire. Your family needs to make an plan for your home. When you discuss with your family, it is a good idea to talk about each person's responsibilities in case of a fire, such as who helps whom out of the house.
Fire safety education begins with children. You should teach your children to follow fire safety rules. Let your child know if his or her clothes are burning, always STOP, DROP, and ROLL.
Electrical fires are the most common type of home fires in China. If a fire happens, shut off the electricity, put out small fires with your home fire extinguisher (灭火器). Do not put water on electrical fires. Call 119 and report the fire.
